    I’m so happy we chose Stephanie

    Stephanie was wonderful, not only did our photos turn out beautifully, but she was a huge help with day of coordination and flow of events. She’s super responsive, engaging, and makes everyone feel at ease. I have so many amazing pictures I can’t choose which to print and frame! Huge thank you to her for helping make our day special and capturing so

    Our Favorite Photographer!

    We were lucky enough to have Stephanie take our engagement photos, and they turned out absolutely stunning!

    As a couple, we don’t have much experience with photoshoots, but Stephanie guided us through the whole process. She was an expert in posing, making us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was also very open to recreating specific poses we were interested in. I tend to feel insecure, but Stephanie made me feel beautiful throughout the whole session, and it showed in our photos.

    Overall, we are in love with our photos and will be coming back to Stephanie Michelle Photography for future life-events. She is a wonderful human to work with and we highly recommend her services!

    Loved our photos!

    Stephanie photographed our engagement session and October wedding. We absolutely love every photo that Stephanie took! She listened to our wish list and paid attention to the images we wanted to capture for our special day. Stephanie was easy to work with, offered suggestions for our vision and timeline, helped corral our families for group shots, and was generally fun to be around! We would absolutely recommend Stephanie and hope to work with her in the future for family portraits!

    Wonderful Photographer!

    Stephanie was a wonderful photographer!! We knew after our engagement photoshoot we had made the right choice. She is friendly, easy to work with, and knew what to do for us to have the best photos possible. She worked well with the kids in our families during the wedding and everyone who has seen our photos loved them! Would 100% recommend choosing Stephanie as your wedding photographer.

    Fabulous Photographer!!

    Stephanie is absolutely amazing!!! We are very blessed to have book Stephanie as our wedding photographer. She was recommended by my sister in law as they had a wonderful experience through their conversations, her organization skills and her friendly engagement with those she had captured. And I can say she absolutely delivered!! We enjoyed how personable she was with us during our engagement shoot and wedding. Our photos turned out beautiful and absolutely what we envisioned and discussed. Thank you Stephanie!! We’re excited to book you again for family photos & recommend you to all we know. Much love!

    Best. Photographer. Ever.

    Stephanie was the greatest photographer we could have asked for. She is personable, professional, and the quality of her work is unmatched. I would hire her again and again. Her style is unique in that she avoids the typical yellow toned photos that are very popular right now which makes her work timeless. She never failed to answer even my dumbest question. She was receptive to my requests for certain poses and did her best to deliver as many as we had time for. She was always responsive and a pleasure to be around. My deciding factor in hiring her was that talking to her during our interview felt like talking to a friend. She was so easy to be around, it made posing for photos very comfortable. My only regret is that I didn’t have MORE time for her to photograph our wedding.
    Stephanie also photographed my best friends wedding and she did amazing for them as well!
    You absolutely will not regret working with Stephanie, I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Perfect for anyone nervous about getting photographed (and everyone else too!)

    We so appreciated having Stephanie on our wedding day! Her energy is honestly so infectious and she helps you have so much fun taking your photos. My now husband and I were both a little bit nervous to take our engagement photos and Stephanie immediately helped us feel more comfortable being in front of the camera. I loved how much she balanced giving us direction and posing us and letting us embrace our natural goofiness. We have so many amazing memories documented now that truly show who we are, so we'll always be incredibly appreciative of her. From a logistics standpoint, Stephanie was very communicative as we asked for additional information and discussed the contract. We had a zoom call in the week leading up to the wedding so she had an exact idea of what shots we wanted with our families, each other, our first look, etc. We booked Stephanie's Forever Package and can't recommend it enough!

    AMAZING- highly recommend!!!

    We cannot thank Stephanie enough for her time, talent & thoughtfulness. Our engagement photos were perfect and received quickly. And on the day of our wedding she was SO helpful all day and the portrait process felt so easy and seamless. She's very detail oriented and trustworthy! We highly recommend her and look forward to hiring her again for all of our future special events.

    Stephanie Michelle Photography's reply:

    Awe! Thank you Andrea for such kind words! You and Nick were amazing and I can't wait for you to see your photos! =)

    Wonderful Memories!

    Stephanie was the photographer for my brother and sister in law’s wedding. She captured some of our most treasures family memories that day. How fortunate for us that she relocated to our area and was available for a Holiday mini-shoot! She was incredibly responsive leading up to the shoot and chose an amazing, festive location. She was VERY patient with our five year old (who wasn’t in the greatest mood the day of our shoot) and managed to capture our family’s love and joy. I highly recommend Stephanie for any of your special occasions.

    Best Wedding Decision We Made

    Stephanie is an absolute pleasure.


    To start and give some context my wife and I had a small wedding. We had less than 70 guests and it was in my mother's backyard. We didn't have a wedding planner and we survived mostly off the good will and contributions from our families and personal wallets.

    From the beginning working with Stephanie she was professional, personable, and so much fun to work with.

    If you've never coordinated a wedding or taken part in one as bride/groom you may not be aware of why people hire wedding planners. You get turned around beyond any party you may have hosted in your life. Time escapes your perception and if you don't have a guide of some kind you're going to wish you had one.

    Stephanie was our guide with a major emphasis on specifying and sticking to a timeline.

    The photos. Immaculate. Pretty sure she took several thousand then curated the best.

    The day of the wedding. We were hauled and prodded and handshaked to exhaustion all the while Stephanie was there calling and directing who was next for a photo. She took charge and we did as we were told. We'd told her in our Zoom call what we wanted and she made sure it was gotten.

    Wedding Photographer

    Stephanie is the best!!! She is such a professional in what she does and her work speaks for herself. She was our photographer for our wedding this October and was able to execute our vision while going above and beyond. I've never met as great as a photographer as her who knew just exactly what poses and aspects to snap.
    We highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely be using her in the future!

    We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She was knowledgeable and professional. We are thankful that she helped two unphotogenic people take some beautiful photographs. Would definitely hire again.

    Family photo shoot

    Stephanie is AMAZING! She captured perfect photos of our family and also some incredible action shots of my dance company. I never like pictures of me, but she posed me just right and I actually have shared photos of me with people - something I usually don’t do. She is so personable and patient and GREAT with kids! Even my 2 little boys who do not enjoy pictures! I could not recommend her more!

    The best photographer!

    Stephanie is an amazing photographer! She took creative pictures that show how special our wedding day was. We also had her do a photography session for my daughter and her new husband on the beach. Absolutely gorgeous pictures that will give us a lifetime of memories! Thank you Stephanie!

    All the photos

    Stephanie has shot all of our family photos, our daughter's senior pictures, and hopefully when the time comes her wedding! She treats all customers as if there is no one else! She puts you at ease anytime she is working with you! I have seen her progress through the years and she just gets more amazing

    Professional and a wonderful experience

    Stephanie did an amazing job photographing our wedding! She was EVERYWHERE- but never intrusive. We did really fun, great shots and she has a great sense of humor. We felt like Stephanie understood us as a couple and catered her photos to us. She's a really cool person who we enjoyed spending a good chunk of our wedding day with.

    Captures our special events flawlessly

    Stephanie has been an absolute dream to work with. She captured our wedding day more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. She was kind, professional, communicative, and got our photos to us in a timely manner. She doesn’t miss a single detail and is just a joy to work with. We have had her take more photos for us since our wedding and have been thrilled with our pictures and every time! She is truly one of the best photographers there is!

    Passionate and Gifted

    We just wanted to give an amazing review for Stephanie! She did our engagement photos and was wonderful. From the moment we met her she made it so comfortable. She made us laugh nonstop through the whole thing. My fiancé was a bit nervous about doing the pics and was not all into it but when he met Stephanie he had a blast! I can't thank her enough for all she did. Every picture we wanted she took it right then and there! Truly has a passion for what she does and it shows!

    Perfect score!

    Stephanie made the experience fun and personal! From the engagement shoot to the wedding photos, we were so relaxed and able to let go and enjoy every moment! We never had to worry about what our photos would look like! We knew each one would be beautiful and a great representation of how everyone was feeling! I even booked Stephanie separately after our wedding for a boudoir photo shoot for my husband‘s 30th birthday! I’m so sad that she’s so far away now, but our loss is your gain! You’ll never regret your decision to book her for any type of photo shoot! She’s THAT great and versatile!
